17 years and counting!!!!!

Yesterday was mine and Barry's 17 year anniversary of our first date. Yes it has been that long ago that we went out for the very first time. It almost didn't happen though. He asked me out in the parking lot of the church after the youth group got back from bowling one night and the day he asked me for was a day I already had plans with friends and another guy. I said no and he looked crushed. I felt bad, because I did want to go. I talked with my friend and she said to cancel with the other plans and go tell him yes. So the next day I went to his job and found him and he looked like he was mad at me. I told him that I changed my plans and if he still wanted to I would go out with him. So he perked up and we planned to go out. He took me to Arby's and to see "Sister Act". So that was the begining of the relationship we now have. I am so very glad that I changed plans and went with him.. He has been the best husband I could ever ask for and Dad as well. I welcome many many more years.
